Carrara Archi Day 2018 – the great architecture meets Carrara

White Carrara Downtown is the party that showcases Carrara and the surrounding region, an occasion in which the city dresses up and celebrates with an event for every type of marble, showing visitors the history, culture and numerous examples of excellence found in the city and neighbouring areas through art trails, workshops and laboratories open to the public, excursions to quarries in off-road vehicles, shows, concerts, open-air sculpture and food and wine.

White Carrara Downtown turns the spotlights on Carrara’s cultural and urban identity, attracting visitors from both neighbouring towns and cities and abroad as well as international operators, creative professionals and architects through the designing of new roles for a region whose most powerful tourist attraction is the white marble and the quarries from which it is extracted, a feature that is still not yet fully appreciated and exploited.

Platform architecture and design is the organizer behind the “Carrara Archi Day 2018 – la grande architettura incontra Carrara” conference, an important event with leading figures from the world of architecture. Mario Botta, Odile Decq, Vincenzo Latina and Sergei Tchoban are the four main speakers at the conference which will be held on Saturday 9 th June starting at 09.30 at the Massa Carrara Chamber of Commerce.

The event has been accredited by the Massa Carrara Order of Architects and attendees will be able to claim 4 professional training credits.
